Gilli's Pinkalicious 3rd Birthday

Gillian Claire Mishel is officially 3 years old!!! This year she wanted to have a Pinkalicious Party because she LOVES the book and she LOVES pink! This girly girl wanted pinktails, a pink dress, and pink lemonade for her party! I think she probably dreams in pink! I can't say that I mind either! After two boys, a pink party is a dream for this mom! We turned the house pink, and I think the pictures even all have a pink glare!

Our silly Gilli, a few days before her party, had the cupcake pan on her head!
And the house turns PINK!!!

Every girl had a princess to color pink and pink flip flops to decorate with pink balloons!
We had a pink pinata. I made a pink cupcake cake for her friend party, and my mom made pink cupcakes for the family party. The cupcakes were seriously beautiful with pink icing and pink glitter! My pink cake, however, looked like a child iced it! HA!
Pink flowers and a pink tiara!
The little girls were served watermelon, strawberry yogurt, pink wafers, pink M & M's, and pink lemonade.
The girls had such a good time doing crafts!
Gilli ended up pulling the pink string that broke the pink pinata... not planned!
Cake and present time!
The Pink Princesses
Gilli, Abby, and Myla had a great time with these masks while waiting on family to arrive for the next party!
The family party...
Happy Birthday Gilli Jello!

PINKALICIOUS!!!
Opening her dollhouse and Zhu Zhu pet, Jilly!

In this last year, Gillian has completely broken out of her shell! She has gone from "attached to my hip" to asking me to "Go in the other room, mom!" during her pink party! :) Yep, she has become SASSY and SPUNKY and REALLY FUNNY!! She loves pink gum and pink yogurt! She loves to sing Jesus Loves Me and read Pinkalicious books. She loves to make her brothers laugh! She talks about her little sister Gianna and does NOT want a little brother! We love this little girl and her girly giggles! God gave us such a special gift 3 years ago! Happy Birthday Sweet Girl!

What a great party!! Pinkalicious is still huge in our house too. Sophia is all about pink. Is it sad that I can spot an Isabella & Chloe dress a mile away? Love the beautiful dresses :)

Happy Birthday Gillian!!! Such a sweet and spunky girl :)

WOW! What an awesome party! I love all of the details you put in and the descriptions of everything!!! What a lucky girl and a lucky Mom to be able to plan a "pink" party. I feel the same way...after two boys, pink is a welcome color in mi casa. Happy birthday to Miss Gillian, we miss you guys and hope we can visit again soon!

This is so lovely and so pink! My girls would love this! We're a Gladney family adopting twins from Ethiopia and trying to patiently wait for our referral call! This is our second adoption so we're a little bit more calm! You have a beautiful family!
Blessings.
